krypto 1 in CT

Im thinking of having some work done to my outdrive over the winter.I have a bravo 1 with imco gears and shafts /bearings e.c.t in the upper but nothing done to the lower with standered small prop shaft.im turning a 34 bravo prop to around 5400rpms @94+ and figure its only time until the prop is at the bottom of the water so i want to get the xr lower conversion kit installed but i dont have a good local shop. im in need of a good outdrive shop around CT or even LONG ISLAND.Any recomendations?.thanks sean

Sean,

How is the boat running?

Give Holden Kramer a call. He is a friend of mine and does meticulous work. He also has a 100 mph Kryptonite. He is in Mamaroneck, NY.
914 262-1898

Sean,
Please give me a call. 631 484-8838

Holden and some other boats are getting together for a run up the Hudson tomorrow.
They are leaving out of Mamoroneck. Maybe you could join them. I am considering coming up with a boat to run with also.

Let me know if you are interested.

Krypto1, Is your boat the all yellow Kryptonite I saw in Norwalk this past weekend? I was out in my O.L. in that area. Tom

yeah that was it all yellow with a white rub rail.was that your OL tied up out there near us off of westport.that thing sounded real mean sounded like big inch NATURAL ASPERATED MOTORS?.the krypto is there tied up for a few coronas at least 1 day of the weekend.

TomFTM

Krpto, Yes we were tied off my brothers 36 Formula PC "Next Friday". My OL has 557's with 10-71's that we built. We will probably be at the Crab Shell in Stamford on Weds. I have a shop on LI that can service your outdrive. We can also service speedmaster 3-5 drives . Tom

Kirk

Sean,
Glad to hear you are enjoying the boat. I have set up some rigs with higher X dimensions than yours but I don't think there is any gain. You start to lose a little lift if you go too high. We have had good luck with the Hydro 5 blade props. The slip factor goes way down and they really stay hooked up. Even if the top speed doesn't change the cruising speed goes up consideraby.

Let me know how you make out with your testing.

Well i had to open my mouth about the outdrive needing to get beefed up.i blew it last nite.kirk,check out the (went 96.2 and blew the outdrive) post.its got some more speed left in it.we felt a vibration and the boat started making a surging like it had some broken teeth in the outdrive like a slip grab slip grab.and while backing off the outdrive went.lucky some nice people with a donzi center cosole were nice enough to tow us in.kirk any strong outdrives around there for sale.how about holden?.sean
